Photo: Peter McIntoshDunedin Mayor Aaron Hawkins has decried a regional vision for transport as unambitious and defeatist. “Existing levels of service means continuing to accept substandard transport options for people who can’t or, increasingly, choose not to drive," he said. He also noted changes were not expected in the nature of transport demand in the next 10 years. The council’s submission highlighted that George St could be at risk of missing out on funding from the transport agency. Councillors voted 12-3 in support of the council’s submission.
